Notes by Blue Nagoon | export

 My magnum opus album "Here Be Dragons" is one year old today! 🥳 

11 tracks of #synthpop  and #80s #rock combined. Lots of old school songwriting: bridges, solos, changeups, surprises. 9 lead singers. Sampler video below.

It's one of those albums: people who connect with it tend to REALLY connect. 😍 

It was named "best synthwave album of 2022" by radio show the Sol of Synth Pop.

 I made two Corsi-Rosenthal boxes with MERV 14 filters for my teaching space. The room has no ventilation otherwise so I'm really happy to have these chugging away.

It surprises me how many people don't know what they are or why I'd have them.

 Any #Ableton users out there? Comment a 👋 or somethin. 🙏😎 
 @bb543141 👋 I love Ableton, it clicks with me.

I originally got it to use as my keyboard live rig, but when I started using it to record too I found that I really liked the workflow!

(Enough that I still stick with it even though it doesn't have ARA support and using Melodyne in it is a huge PITA.) 
 Would any of my Mastodon music friends be up for listening to a mix in progress and letting me know if anything jumps out at you? Genre is classic Blue Nagoon synthpop/rock with vocals.

I'm happy to reciprocate of course!
